Thats not like you. Dont worry, Is.h.i.+-san, itll be our turn. Seeing das.h.i.+ xiujies anxious look, which was rare, Qianyuan Tak.u.mi coughed twice to clear his throat and comforted him calmly.

Das.h.i.+ xiujie was speechless instantly. He was a very calm person, but he hadnt eaten anything from Yuan Zhous restaurant for two weeks. When he recalled the taste, how could he not be anxious?

Looking at the expression of why cant you be patient on chiyuantakus face, das.h.i.+ xiujie almost couldnt hold back his future Grandmasters demeanor and directly blushed. After swallowing his saliva, das.h.i.+ xiujie slowly opened his mouth,Youll understand in a while.

Das.h.i.+ xiujie said that with a profound meaning. After that, he stood straight and faced Yuan Zhous restaurant and started to line up seriously.

Standing behind das.h.i.+ xiujie, chiyuantaku suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

Ah, I understand. The way he looks is very similar to head chef Yuan, whom I just met. Chiyuantaku muttered to himself as he came to a realization.

Thats right. Ever since he was personally guided by Yuan Zhou, das.h.i.+ xiujie had even adopted Yuan Zhous upright standing posture meticulously. He also requested himself to maintain such a standing posture in front of others.

As a matter of fact, das.h.i.+ xiujie used to stand very straight when he was working in his restaurant. However, due to the habits of the j.a.panese, his shoulders would be slightly bent. Ever since he intentionally corrected himself, however, das.h.i.+ xiujies standing posture became closer and closer to Yuan Zhou s.

His shoulders were also straight and his entire person seemed to be much taller. Of course, this was what das.h.i.+ xiujie thought.

Yuan Zhous cooking speed was as fast as usual. Das.h.i.+ xiujie, who got the second number, waited for 18 minutes before entering the restaurant to have his meal.

Due to the land area of j.a.pan, chiyuantaku didnt think Yuan Zhous restaurant was very small. Instead, he thought it was good to open the restaurant in such a quiet place.

As usual, Qianyuan Tak.u.mi followed das.h.i.+ xiujie and sat down on the high chair beside the curved long table.

Once the two of them sat down, su Ruoyan came over.

Su Ruoyan knew das.h.i.+ xiujie and knew that he could speak Chinese. Therefore, she asked him in Chinese,What would the two of you like to eat today?

Id like a serving of clear broth noodle soup set and a serving of egg fried rice, please. Das.h.i.+ xiujie ordered the dishes he needed easily.

Then, he turned his head and asked chiyuantaku what he wanted to eat in j.a.panese. After all, chiyuantaku could only understand a little and could not speak.

What do you want to eat, Chiaki? You can order anything on this menu. Every dish is head chef Yuans specialty. You dont need to know what they are. Das.h.i.+ xiujie said with confidence.

Das.h.i.+ xiujie pointed at the menu in front of chiyuantao and waited for him to order with a relaxed look.

Ill have to trouble you to order me a bowl of plain white rice. Chiyuantaku didnt even look at the menu and said directly.

Plain white rice? Das.h.i.+ xiujie was a little surprised, but he immediately understood the meaning of Qianyuan Tak.u.mi. He nodded and continued,Alright, you wont be disappointed, chizuhara-san.

I hope so, Chiyuantaku nodded and then sat in his seat, waiting for das.h.i.+ xiujie to order.

Please give him a serving of plain white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisine. Das.h.i.+ xiujie was very familiar with the menu of Yuan Zhous restaurant. He was probably even more familiar with it than su Ruoyan.

Wouldnt he be able to name a complete dish like the plain white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisine directly and accurately?

Before they came here, das.h.i.+ xiujie had naturally reminded Chiaki Hara takto Yuan Zhou that the fees for foreigners like them were all in US dollars for the sake of convenient calculation.

Chiyuantaku had no opinion on this. After all, he was a great Grandmaster, and it was normal for him to accept us dollars. He didnt think there was any problem.

After all, to be able to eat a meal personally made by a master on the same day, not to mention US dollars, even euros were acceptable.

Even if you wanted to eat the Kimura kazufurus food, you couldnt just wait in line. You had to make an appointment and wait in line according to the rules, then ask for his time and then wait.

The two of them didnt care about this little bit of US dollars at all. They paid each others bills very naturally and then waited quietly.

Having received su Ruoyans menu, Yuan Zhou was not surprised by a bowl of plain white rice.

Hes indeed a j.a.panese. Such a thought flashed across Yuan Zhous mind. Then, he continued to cook without stopping.

Yuan Zhou couldnt be blamed for saying that. There was a reason why chiyuantaku ordered a bowl of white rice.

He just wanted to test Yuan Zhous culinary skills with a bowl of the most ordinary white rice.

Because in j.a.pan, whether it was the northernmost Hokkaido or the southernmost Ryukyu Islands, rice was the main food.

Even in j.a.pan Western restaurants, fast food like hamburgers, fried chicken, and c.o.ke could be ordered with white rice. One could imagine the status of white rice in j.a.pan.

Moreover, in ancient j.a.pan, they had built their country on the basis of rice cultivation. In ancient agricultural societies, there was a tradition of linking agriculture with sacrifice. In j.a.panese, there was even the word rice-planting ritual, which meant that in rice planting, there were rituals and sacrifices such as transplanting rice seedlings, insect prevention, and rain prayer. In some places in j.a.pan, such sacrificial activities were still maintained.

It could be said that the j.a.paneses tongue was still obsessed with the taste and fragrance of the rice.

And chiyuantaku was no exception, but it was not so easy to cook a good pot of rice.

That was why chiyuantaku only ordered one serving of white rice.

s.h.i.+ xiujie naturally understood the intention of chiyuantaku. However, he was very sure that chiyuantaku would definitely regret it after eating it. He would regret that he didnt carefully study the <

> that he had given him.

Yuan Zhou also understood Qian yuantuos intention when he saw the order. However, he didnt really care about it. He just served the rice seriously and then asked su Ruoyan to send it over.

It took less than three minutes from ordering to Qianyuan Tak.u.mi getting his own white rice. Su Ruoyan served the steaming white rice.

Heres your white rice, please enjoy. After su Ruoyan finished speaking, she kept the tray and left.

Chihara Tak.u.mi thanked him in j.a.panese and then began to observe the White rice in front of him.

Das.h.i.+ xiujie didnt care at all at the side. He was still staring at Yuan Zhou who was busy in the kitchen with a serious and solemn expression.

It was fortunate that master Cheng wasnt here. If master Cheng was, he would definitely block das.h.i.+ xiujie with his fat body. After all, das.h.i.+ xiujies gaze was too hot.

At this moment, master Cheng had a feeling that das.h.i.+ xiujie was going to acknowledge him as his master on the spot in the next second. Therefore, he had an extremely strong sense of crisis.

Hiss. The hiss next to das.h.i.+ xiujie didnt draw his attention.

The hissing sound was naturally made by chiyuantaku, who was surprised by the perfection of the bowl of rice in front of him.

Thats right, it was perfect. He couldnt find a single flaw. From the filling of the bowl to the fragrance, as well as the crystal-clear grains, the completeness, and so on, everything was perfect.

This is unbelievable. Its so fragrant. Its just a bowl of plain white rice, but it makes me want to eat it so badly. Chiyuantaku stammered.

It wasnt his fault for having such an exaggerated reaction, because he really loved eating rice, and as a chef, he also knew how to eat rice.

The j.a.panese loved rice very much. They even had an a.s.sociation that specialized in evaluating the quality of rice grains called the grain Inspection a.s.sociation.

This a.s.sociation specialized in evaluating the taste of the rice produced in j.a.pan and divided it into grades.

Furthermore, the rice was specially set into five levels, which were divided into special> aaa> > bb> . There were six evaluation criteria for rice grains, namely fragrance, appearance, taste, stickiness, hardness, and comprehensive evaluation.

There was also a requirement for the person who made this evaluation, they had to get rice. Only a person with the qualifications of taste appraiser could make an evaluation.

It could be said that every step was very detailed and complete.
